Tower of Jeezabelle
Located atop Mount Douveall, the Tower of Jeezabelle is a mysterious and ancient monument that has become a symbol of national heritage in Mederas. The tower's exact age and purpose are unknown, but it is believed to have been built over 1,000 years ago.
The tower was first mentioned in historical records some 300 years prior to the article writing, when it became known as the Tower of Jeezabelle. It is said that the tower was named after a legendary figure, Jeezabelle, who was believed to have possessed magical powers and had built the tower as a place of worship.
Protection and Access
The Tower of Jeezabelle is protected by Mederas Heritage Act legislation, which prohibits any form of damage or desecration. Due to the various dangers associated with climbing Mount Douveall, including steep terrain, inclement weather, and potential rockfalls, access to the tower is strictly limited.
Visitors are not permitted to climb to the top of the mountain or approach the tower without proper authorization and guidance from trained professionals. The Mederas government has established a strict safety protocol for anyone wishing to visit the Tower of Jeezabelle, which includes mandatory guides, equipment checks, and emergency response plans.
Rinnous
The town of Rinnous is a small settlement located on the Mederas side of the Werevel Mountains, near the base of Mount Douveall. The town has a population of approximately 1,000 people and serves as a hub for tourists and adventurers visiting the Tower of Jeezabelle.
Rinnous offers basic amenities, including accommodations, food, and supplies, but it is not a major tourist destination in its own right. However, the town's proximity to the Tower of Jeezabelle makes it an essential stopover for anyone planning to visit the ancient monument.
